Question

Describe the electrolytic refining process of CU metal write one chemical properties of metal and nonmetal each

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Full answer of electrolytic refining is given below

Answer 2

The electrolytic refining process of copper metal :

• In this electrolytic refining process the impure copper sample is used as the anode and the pure sample of copper is used as anode.

• And we use CUSO4 (a little amount of H2SO4 is also added) solution as the electrolyte.

• In this setup we run current and as a result the impurities present in the impure copper sample,forms a sludge in the bottom of the container where the process is going on.

This sludge includes impurities likes gold, iron,zinc metals.

• This happens because the pure copper gets oxidised and stays in the anode while the impurities don't get oxidised and transformed into sludge.

• Chemical property of metals is they produce metal oxides and hydrogen gas when they react with the water.

• Chemical property of non metals is they produce ionic solid materials when react with electronegative alkaline substances.
